"In dance you can express harmony and disharmony at the very same moment, which you cannot do in language." (Meg Stuart)

Well, I certainly feel in harmony and disharmony at the same time with my friends at ImPulsTanz. On one hand you don‘t want to bite the hand that feeds you. On the other hand you certainly don‘t want to be stood up. Of course putting info on ImPulsTanz 2002 online "around Easter" is subject to interpretation but 3 weeks after Easter is quite a stretch, no? So let me keep harmony with you and tell you this:

Looks not so boring to me. Guess the missing ones, then put them in the right order and you will get a free ImPulsTanz T-Shirt!

Just kidding. What is "right" anyway. Not to speak of order.
